We have the privilege of caring for many children, adults, and their families in the comfort of their own home and through our hospice services, Little Havens, The J’s and Fair Havens.
Like many people, they had preconceptions of what hospice care meant. They have agreed to tell their story to you in the hope that it sheds some light on the reality of how hospice care can benefit families in the toughest of times, and overcome fears of what hospices are like.
“I’m leaving some money to Fair Havens to look after people.”
“Everyone’s perception initially about hospices is, I think, that you go there to die but it’s not that at all."
"Fair Havens is so different to anywhere else I’ve experienced. There is always someone on hand to help, care and support me and my family.”
"It’s a place to come away from everything you face on a daily basis when you have a child with a disability and just be who you want to be."
"Every one of the people at Havens Hospices is fantastic"
"Everything Phoenix needs is here; I never have any worries.”
“The J’s Hospice is brilliant - an absolute life-saver.”
“Each music therapy session gave me time think about my emotions."
“Words can’t explain how grateful we are for Little Havens.”
“I thought we belong here from that first visit.”
"This town is so lucky to have Fair Havens."
The J’s Hospice is fantastic they do so much for us.
